too quiet

[bransom]

The list is too quiet so I thought I'd post something -- anything! I
recently made what I think is a nice and simple jury rig tool for deburring
the inside of a hole ...those that you can't get to directly face on. I
had just busted off the last of the bits on one of those swivel dog-leg
shaped deburring tools, which I never felt any good at anyway. I took an
allen wrench (aka hex key wrench) a little smaller size than the #30 hole,
and with a dremel tool cut off the short end just a snitch past its 90 deg
bend. Then I sharpened a flat onto the 90 deg bend and remaining stub. To
use, I hold it at an angle to get the stub into the hole. Once in, I
straighten out and give it a couple turns while holding back pressure to
the inside hole burr. (using a slow speed battery drill) I put a mark on
the allen key shaft to mark the side I need to angle it to when pulling out
of the hole.

I used this to debur the inside of the cage posts. Worked great. (I can
tell by having tested it on scrap that I could check both sides.) I have a
heck of a lot cleco'd together, hoping to change out for rivets this wknd.
